This analysis is prescient. Heretofore, the election was in fact being portrayed as a “referendum on Obama,” with doddering old John McCain being just a placeholder for the “no” vote. But that crafty old fox reshaped the game in the course of a few days – now it is a contest between two stark alternatives.
May I submit something to your attention that I learned at the RNC? One of the starkest contrasts between these two alternatives is the “card check” or “Employee Free Choice Act” iaaue. This determines whether union representation in workplaces will be determined by a secret ballot conducted under uniform regulations of the National Labor Relations Board, or not. For me, this is a defining issue, with consequences that could last our lifetimes.
